Why it was refused

  1. The development, by reason of its design, scale, location and removal of existing landscaping features represents an unduly dominant and unsympathetic alteration to this rural streetscape to the significant detriment of visual amenity and the visual setting of the Conservation Area and this area of countryside. This is contrary to Planning Policy Wales 12 and policies SP1, SP5, SP9, CE7, GP2, and GP6 of the Newport Local Development Plan 2011-2026 (Adopted January 2015).
  2. The proposal fails to mitigate or compensate for landscape and biodiversity impact or demonstrate that biodiversity enhancement can be achieved. This is contrary to Policy 9 of Future Wales: The National Plan and Planning Policy Wales 12 and policies SP1, SP5, SP9 and GP5 of the Newport Local Development Plan 2011-2026 (Adopted January 2015). No information has been provided that mitigates or outweighs this objection.
  3. The development will have a significant adverse impact upon interests of acknowledged importance, namely highway safety, by reason of substandard layout, non-permeable surface and absence of positive drainage, visibility and size. This is contrary to policies SP1 and GP4 of the Newport Local Development Plan 2011-2026 (adopted January 2015) and the Council's adopted Parking SPG. No information has been provided that mitigates this objection.
  4. The development will have a significant adverse impact upon interests of acknowledged importance, namely heritage and archaeological resource, by reason of the retrospective nature of excavation works and the site being close to the archaeologically sensitive area of Caerleon and with known archaeological deposits found in investigations close by. Archaeological mitigation is required. This is contrary to Planning Policy Wales Edition 12, policies CE6 and SP9 of the Newport Local Development Plan 2011- 2026 (adopted January 2015) and Archaeology and Archaeologically Sensitive Sites SPG .

From the council's decision notice.
